Equine Care Level 2 at Easton College

This course has been designed by employers to deliver up-to-date practical and technical skills. You’ll explore a range of relevant skills and subject areas, including equine health and welfare, equine nutrition, stable duties, horse riding, biology, horse tack and more. You will practise this knowledge is a real life work experience setting, typically at a livery yard, stud or competition yard. You will be able to study on either the Riding or Groom Pathway.

The Program of Study combines the City and Guilds Level 2 Technical Certificate in Equine Care, with Functional Skills or GCSE English and Maths lessons (depending on previous qualifications), work experience and weekend duties.

You will need to purchase your PPE for the Equine Centre. Details with what is required will be provided at enrolment. You will work in all weather conditions, both indoors and outdoors, ensuring our horses are provided with the highest welfare standards. During practical sessions, you will be involved with yard duties, which includes mucking out, maintaining the yards and paddocks, feeding, grooming and exercising the horses.
